Well-dressed Men—Among those habitual errors of conduct which arc common in both careful and careless persons, not one is more often met with than disregard of the advantages derivable from being well dressed; yet whoever lives observantly in such a County as Patea, is soon convinced that this mistake is fruitful of mischievous results. All of ns instinctively judge from first impressions; we proceed from the exterior to the interior; a well-dressed man gratifies our fondness for beauty and our appreciation of neatness; and there is no one, however cynical or unobservant, but is pleased when a well-dressed person, even if a stranger, passes by, and disposed to think favorably of him. This universal disposition cannot safely be offended. To be habitually a sloven is to constantly, though unconsciously, offend numerous persons, among whom the favour of some may be valuable; and therefore a shrewd man is not content to make himself neat now and then, but always will appear well dressed. He keeps his clothes in good order, and is careful n the selection of a tailor.
In bringing this maxim before public notice, B. A. Adams, Cardigan House, is gratified by remembering fhat the disposition of a great many of his customers to appear in public well dressed has been met by the combination in his goods of selection, material, good fit, and low price. He obtains his cloths in the most advantageous markets; he employs first-class cutters and workmen; he avoids obsolete fashions; and he is content with moderate profits in the place of the exorbitant percentage which only a few years ago was universal, and still is frequent in the tailoring trade. His gloves, hats, shirts, hosiery, ties, and scarfs, are also such as will please the most fastidious. Whatever experience’, capital, care, and good taste can effect on the tradesman’s side, is done by R. A. Adams, in order that all his customers may realise the substantial advantages of being well-dressed; and that his efforts give satisfaction, is shown by the rapid and steady increase in the number of those who deal ■with him. Attentive to the changes of costume necessitated by varying seasons, and of style by the dictatee of fashion, E. A. Adams has now on hand a large and carefully selected stock of cloths suitable for all seasons.—R. A, ADAMS Cardigan House, Carlyle.— advt. Holloway's Ointment and Pills. —Chest Preservatives. —At all seasons of the year the rate of mortality from diseases of the lungs is very great. Holloway’s Ointment well rubbed upon the chest, aided by his Pills, arrests all mischief. These cleansing medicaments exercise the most salutary and restorative influence over the entire contents of the pectoral cavity. Air-tubes, nerves, bloodvessels, and all other tissues feel their wholesomely potent power, more particularly in their thoroughly purifying both venous and arterial blood, by promoting the free circulation of air. Neither Ointment nor Pills contain any noxious ingredient whatever, but their balsamic nature nourishes rather than irritates the system, ami kindly ' subdues untoward symptoms till all is well once more.
